Power study of anova versus Kruskal-Wallis test
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the comparison of the anova and the KruskalWallis test by means of the power when violating the assumption about normally distributed populations. The permutation method is used as a simulation method to determine the power of the test. It appears that in the case of asymmetric populations the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test performs better than the parametric equivalent anova method.

Running head: A COMPARISON OF THE EXACT KRUSKAL-WALLIS A comparison of the Exact Kruskal-Wallis Distribution to Asymptotic Approximations for All Sample Sizes
We generated exact probability distributions for sample sizes up to 35 in each of three groups ( 105 N ) and up to 10 in each of four groups ( 40 N ). We provided a portion of these exact probability tables and compared the exact distributions to the chi-square, gamma, and beta approximations. The beta approximation was best in terms of the root mean squared error. At specific significance ...
متن کاملPreliminary Tests of Normality When Comparing Three Independent Samples
This paper uses simulation to explore the performance of a two-stage procedure where a preliminary Shapiro-Wilk test is used to choose between the ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests as a three-sample location test. The results suggest that the two-stage procedure actually seems to be preferable when conducting such location tests.

Twenty-six men on a liver transplant waiting list (12 had alcoholic cirrhosis, 8 suffered from posthepatitic cirrhosis, and 6 from cirrhosis of other etiologies) were eligible for this observation. Nineteen subjects underwent exercise testing to determine oxygen uptake at anaerobic threshold. In all patients dynamometry was performed to determine isokinetic muscle strength of knee extensor musc...

Abstract. This paper studies the effect of deviating from the normal distribution assumption when considering the power of two many-sample location test procedures: ANOVA (parametric) and Kruskal-Wallis (non-parametric). Power functions for these tests under various conditions are produced using simulation, where the simulated data are produced using MacGillivray and Cannon’s [10] recently sugg...
